Letters Patent No. 75,825, dated March 24, 1868.
IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-PLANTERS.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONC-EBN:
Bc it known that I, D. S. AMES, of Laclede, in the county of Linn, and Sttite of Missouri, have made ccrtain new, and useful Improvements in Corn-Planters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a fulland clear description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. i
The-object of this invention is lto produce a cheap and effective machine for planting corn o'r other seeds by hand-power, the devices used being somewhat' similar to those used .in Mr. Hughes patent of 1857, but at the same time being greatly superior to the Hughes machine, both as relates to cheapness of constructiony and reliability of action.
ToA enable those skilled in the art to make and use my improved planter, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. v, v
Figure 1 ofthe drawings is a vertical sectional elevation.
Figure Q--is--a-horiz-ontal plan of the same, taken on the line y of g. 1.
This machine, like that of the Hughes patent, has two legs, A A', which are hinged together by means ot' the metallic plates a, one of which is placed each side of-the legs, and securely fixed to the leg A, whiley a single pin at al serves as the pivot or hinge-point. The bottom ends of the legs A A are shed with iron blades a2, which enter the ground and prepare an opening for the seeds, which vare to fall between them into the opening in the ground thus prepared for the-im, and which willclose over the seeds and cover them atthe proper depth, when the blades are withdrawn. There is a spring, B, placed between the tivo legs A'A, above tlicpivot-.point al, which will habitually hold the upper ends of the said legs asunder, unless pressed together by the operator, who will,'while operating the machine, take hold .of Vthe handle a3. A magazine or hopper, C, is attached4 to the leg A', and a dropping-slide, D, is .pivoted to the bottom of this hopper by means of the pin or screw cl. Theeonneeting-rod dl has one of its. ends attached to the leg A, and the other end to the outer end of the dropping-slide. l v
At each motion of opening and closing the legs, the slide D will make one complete oscillating stroke, as indicated by the dotted lines in fig. 2; this will place the-seed-oritice d2, belonging to the said slide, alternately in communication with the orilce c of the hopper, and the tube c leading to theground. The adjustable p plate d3 may be regulated by means of the set-screw d', so as to make the orifice d2 of any required size. The brush Z5 will prevent more than a certain amount of seed from entering thetube c at cach stroke of the machine, and thus render the elogging'or irregular dropping of the machine an impossibility. The arrangement of t'he feed-slide D, heroin represented, is much more eiheicnt than any of the devices heretofore produced fort-hisA purpose.
Having described my invention, what I claim, is The legs A A and the hopper C, when combined with the dropping-slide D, and otherwise arranged, as herein described and set forth. i
In testimony of whiehinventioml hereunto set my hand, this 21st day of November, A. D. 1866, in presence of y Witnesses:
M. RANDOLPH, GEO. I. HERTHEL, Jr., II. PAULI.
